Cleaner, Greener, Safer

EURO-WOOL Insulation

This revolutionary new material is installed and performs in exactly the same way as traditional mineral fibre insulation but, thanks to the absence of floating fibres, unpleasant working conditions have been relegated to a thing of the past.

This fully tested and certified insulation (Agrément Nos. BPD 07-217/8, Patent Pending) offers specifiers, housebuilders, contractors the opportunity to install insulation into lofts, partitions and timber frame buildings without any of the drawbacks normally experienced with glass or mineral wools. EURO-WOOL Insulation is supplied in easy to handle rolls designed to be installed in exactly the same way as mineral fibre or fibre glass and provides the same thermal conductivity.

Approximately 85% of the material used in the production of EURO-WOOL Insulation is manufactured from recycled plastic bottles! This not only has a positive effect in reducing land fill problems now, but also in the future as the material is, and remains, 100% recyclable.

EURO-WOOL is 100% non-allergenic, 100% non-irritant and 100% free from floating fibres.
In contrast with mineral fibre, which requires a large amount of energy in its production, the manufacture of EURO-WOOL creates a very low carbon footprint as the expended energy is very low. For every 1 ton of plastic bottles used in the manufacture of EURO-WOOL Insulation, 1.5 tons of carbon emissions are prevented from polluting the atmosphere; this is even before the product is installed, at which point it continues to reduce our carbon footprint and benefit the environment.

This new material has been developed by YBS Insulation Ltd., which is one of the leading innovators in insulation technology in the European building and construction industry.

New SuperQuilt provides 42% better thermal resistance than any other certificated multi-foil insulation

Following a series of independent tests using the EU standard (EN 12667) 'hot box', Agrément Nos. (09 -346 / 347) confirm that a single layer of new SuperQuilt out performs any other similarly tested multi-foil insulation by achieving an R-Value of 2.71m2K/W.

The enhanced performance is achieved as a result of a unique patented system that overcomes the problems of thermal bridging usually associated with other mutli-foil insulation materials on the market.

SuperQuilt is manufactured from insulation grade true aluminium foil. This gives the added benefit of a far superior thermal performance over the metalised polyester used by other manufacturers. These layers also provide added fire protection.

SuperQuilt has also been tested and certified separately for Walls 2.44 m2K/W tested value to BS EN 12667 and for Floors up to 4.14 m2K/W calculated value to BS EN 6946. This together with a certified Water Vapour Transmission figure of µ = 58.000 [-] to EN 12572 offers a comprehensive three-in-one Air Leakage, Vapour Barrier and Thermal Insulation solution in a single lightweight, easy-to-fit, non-allergenic and non-irritant package.

AirTec General Purpose bubble insulation for roofs, floors and walls

Developed by YBS in response to increasingly stringent standards of thermal insulation now being demanded for pitched roofs, cavity walls, dry lining and suspended timber floor applications, Air-Tec is available in three forms all of which are coated with polyethylene for added durability and corrosion resistance. They are:-

• AirTec Single comprising a multi-layer air bubble film with aluminium foil bonded to one side providing a thermal resistance of 0.790m2K/W
• AirTec Double where the aluminium foil is bonded to both sides providing a thermal resistance of 1.455m2K/W
• AirTec Double Bubble with two layers of bubble insulation and aluminium foil providing a thermal resistance of 1.525m2K/W

Installed with the appropriate airspace, AirTec is able to achieve excellent U-Values in all applications.
Supplied in 25m long rolls in a number of popular widths.
